Chapter 56: X-711 - Incantation Clay Pot
Approaching the box didn't indicate any danger, but Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless.
He turned his head and asked Chu Jiu on the side: "Can this box be opened?" ”
This kind of thing is beyond his current understanding, and it is better to ask someone knowledgeable.
Chu Jiu glanced at it and said, "Well, the box is just an ordinary box." Cataclysms aren't so easily destroyed. It should be able to open. ”
Ji Xun was relieved when he heard this.
Since it is a trophy, it must be taken away.
But it's impossible to go out with this box, otherwise it will be seen by others and disaster will happen instantly.
And all three of them were curious about what was inside.
The box had a simple lock, Ji Xun took out the master key, and it didn't take long to hear a "click".
It was this sound that sounded, and even Chu Jiu and Nan Jing's eyes trembled for a moment.
The contents of this box were too mysterious, and the three of them were looking forward to it.
Ji Xun restrained his thoughts, carefully checked that there were no mechanisms, and then opened it.
I thought there would be something special inside.
But at first glance, it turned out to be a slightly larger than a fist... Clay pots?
It looked like an ordinary clay pot, dusty.
But if you look closely, you will find that the entire clay pot is densely packed with pocket mantras. Those mysterious patterns are like chains, sealing this clay pot tightly.
At first glance, it looks unremarkable, but the more you look closely, the more you have a sense of quaint mystery.
Enlightenment is subtle.
[X-711-Mysterious Clay Pot]
Explanation: The catastrophic creature numbered 'X-711', which is immune to all curses that are not higher than the laws of the artifact itself;
Ji Xun now knows that the content of the enlightenment display is related to his own cognition.
The clay pot was exempt from the curse, and this was the effect they had seen.
It doesn't mean that it only has this single role.
The more high-end the item, the more hidden information there is that cannot be snooped on.
There was a guess before Chu Jiu that this guy didn't put a storage ring in his hand, so there was a high probability that it was some special items that could not be contained.
This uncontainable ancient relic has a specific name - catastrophic objects.
Often, this kind of thing has some magical effect.
Ji Xun looked very curious, and said, "This is a catastrophic thing?" But what does this number mean? ”
This is a high-end topic that people at the bottom simply can't touch.
Chu Jiu obviously knew these secrets, and explained: "X stands for 'Bureau X', a mysterious department of the Federation, and its full name is the 'Federal Cataclysmic Emergency Handling and Containment of Unknown Extraordinary Things'. Number 711 is the temporary designation given to this cataclysm. Cataclysms are not necessarily artifacts, they may be energy, rules, monsters, viruses, divinity... Or some other strange existence. Once discovered, it is generally difficult to understand its specific purpose in a short period of time, and the Federation usually uses this number to name it first. ”
Hearing this, Ji Xun thought about his own [JOKER] card.
Once in the 407 Research Institute, it seems to be a source of catastrophic change?
After a pause, Chu Jiu said again: "But it's for sure. The catastrophic things that cannot be contained are all relics of gods and demons. All of them contain the power of top-level laws, pointing to some ultimate mystery of the universe that human beings cannot control. ”
When Ji Xun heard it, he didn't know what to do.
Don't say anything about the ultimate mystery, just the full name of this "X Bureau" knows that it is very high-end.
He didn't ask Chu Jiu why he knew, but was curious: "There are more than seven hundred such catastrophic things in federal containment?" ”
Chu Jiu shook his head and said, "The specific number is unknown, this number has been many years old. Some of the designations indicate that the catastrophic items have been lost, sealed, or otherwise non-existent. Some are not listed. But there is indeed a lot of accumulation over thousands of years. ”
"I see."
Ji Xun was also immediately stunned.
He also thought that this might be a version of the legend that has been everywhere in the city recently, the catastrophic thing obtained by the Cao family in the Governor's Mansion?
I thought it was someone deliberately spreading false news, but I didn't think it was true.
But if you don't see its ability to resist the curse of the Secret Keeper, it's really easy to ignore what the value of this clay pot is, and maybe ignore it when it's a broken jar.
As for opening the clay pot?
Thinking about this thought dispelled it.
Not to mention that he didn't understand how to open things at all, even if he could, Ji Xun didn't dare for the time being.
The explanation before the ninth year of junior high school has been very clear, and this jar doesn't understand what it is, but it must be very high-end.
I don't know how to die in the mess.
Now with the ability to block the curse, if you use it well, it is already an "artifact".
......
After all, people didn't kill themselves, and Ji Xun was not embarrassed to put things away.
Chu Jiu didn't seem to care at all.
Her mood has been low.
After being stabbed in the back, he didn't seem interested in anything.
The jar was placed in the secret room.
Ji Xun didn't rush to count any loot, but looked at the very fresh corpse and used the feast skill.
The corpse of the third-order spell card master is the highest quality corpse that Ji Xun has encountered so far.
The remnants of extraordinary properties are so strong that they should not be wasted.
"You used Feast Devour, +0.009 CON
"You used Feast Devour, Power +0.016"
"You use Feast Devour, Ice Affinity +0.02"
「...」
This devouring, transcendent properties are constantly integrated into the body.
The use of the feast skill did not show that there was nothing abnormal, Ji Xun sat next to the corpse and devoured it, and then he could also distract himself from looking at the carvings on the top of his head and the wall tiles around the secret room, and find out the doorway.
After a while, Nan Jing helped Chu Jiu deal with the new injury, and she also pondered the carving in the secret room together.
But the symbols on the walls seemed to be another kind of dizzying magic, and it didn't take long for me to think about it.
Nan Jing looked at it as if the symbols in the sky were coming to life, and he was already dizzy, and said faintly: "It's strange, why do I think these symbols have been looking at it for a long time, as if there are a lot of things stuffed in my head, and I am dizzy?" ”
Hearing this, Ji Xun also raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Because he himself feels the same way.
I thought it was an illusion brought about by the oppressive environment, but it turned out that others also felt this way.
But I didn't see any negative status of enlightenment.
At this time, Chu Jiu on the side thought of something and said, "It's normal. This is when the brain is exposed to knowledge that goes beyond cognition. ”
Nanjing didn't know why: "Huh? ”
Chu Jiu explained, "As far as I know, all the words we know now are derived from the ancient demon language. The more ancient the text of the civilization, the closer it is to the original meaning of the demon language. The Talengu script is a simplified version of the Demon Language. These mysterious symbols are not only 'shapes', but also contain the 'meaning' of the power of the law itself. A skilled craftsman can carve out that mysterious level of meaning. It's like a card-making 'spell', it's a magical text that is said to be a branch of some kind of higher demonic language. ”
"Oh?"
Ji Xun was also very novel when he heard this.
He'd found out about the problem before.
Many of the symbols carved in the stone carvings of this secret room are the same as those on the previous materials.
But to the naked eye, it seems to be different.
The symbols on the stone carvings are obviously much thicker, and it makes people seem to have a lot of deeper meanings in a symbol.
He didn't understand what this was before, but when he heard this, he realized a little.
Just like the paintings of some masters, the message conveyed is not only the image, but also some artistic conception level, which is indescribable.
Ji Xun is really interested in this and wants to know more.
But Chu Jiu looked at his gaze and said regretfully: "If you want to understand that level of knowledge, you need a very high level of wisdom and cognition of the laws. This is something that the spell card master of the [5 Wisdom] sequence has studied, and I only know a little bit about it. ”
"Oh..."
Ji Xun pondered for a moment and faintly felt something.
Even if you see the same world, everyone sees a different level in their eyes.
But the thought drifted away, and it came back again.
At present, how to solve the puzzle is the top priority.
Nan Jing felt that her head was no longer enough, she clearly recognized the current situation, probably hopelessly going out on her own.
She could only glance at Ji Xun and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, have you found anything?" ”
Ji Xun also shook his head and said, "At present, it seems that the clues prompted by this maze point to 300,000 laborers from beginning to end. All I can think of is that there is definitely some connection between the exit of the labyrinth and labor, but I don't see where that connection should be directed at the moment. ”
Whether it is from the perspective of spatial layout or the distribution of monsters, it is almost certain that this secret room is the exit.
But he didn't think of a way to break the game.
Say your thoughts, and the three of them can discuss it.
Thinking about it, Chu Jiu also put forward his own ideas: "Labor? These carvings were carved by laborers, could it be that the solution to the puzzle was hidden in the symbols? Or those murals on the outside? ”
"Hmm. That's almost certainly the line of thought. But there are no exact clues so far. I might need to take a moment to read it all. ”
Ji Xun's tone was very indifferent, and he couldn't hear the urgency at all.
The most taboo thing about solving puzzles is to set up unnecessary interference for yourself.
The more panicked you are, the more it will affect your judgment.
"Hmm."
Chu Jiu also nodded.
Without saying much, he looked up and looked up at the dense carvings on the stone wall tiles.
The three of them stared at the carvings in the secret room and studied them.
Ji Xun also took the lamp and carefully inspected almost every inch of the wall tiles, and even the details of the wall cracks in every corner were not missed.
Time flies by.
After about half a day, he had memorized all the symbols he had seen in his head.
But I still haven't found a clue to break the game.
......
That big adventurer Yuri was stuck in this step.
Ji Xun felt as if he was in the same predicament.
It was a bad feeling.
It's like being in a secret room, and when you know everything, you're missing a key key.
But I just can't find it.
He thought that if he couldn't find any clues, he might have to take the risk of going outside to see the word "Hui".
But his intuition told him that the most important clue was definitely in this secret room.
And not outside.
Ji Xun's current comprehension and puzzle-solving experience have no clue, and it is even more difficult for others to find clues.
Chu Jiu on the side also fell into hard thought, and his tightly locked brows never let go.
And even more obviously, this kind of complex mental activity is not suitable for a certain ball-headed psychic lady.
It's been a long time since I watched it, and Nanjing looks really groggy.
But she tried hard to help, and she never stopped.
Nanjing looked at it and thought in pieces: "Ah... These symbols are so complicated, they look like a maze after looking at them for a long time, and I feel dizzy when I see them..."
Although the chanting was very quiet, it was clearly heard in the secret room.
“...”
I am accustomed to it in the ninth morning.
Ji Xun couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it.
This psychic lady has been thinking about it for a long time...
I didn't plan to pay attention to it.
But suddenly, it was this sentence, and it was like a flash of lightning flashed in my head.
Labyrinths, symbols?
When he woke up from a dream, he shouted softly: "I found the 'key'!" ”
